46 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Portsmouth

“Coconut soup is mouthwatering, healthy and delicious!“

“Levi was our server and he was incredible, on the ball, and funny, dinner was absolutely delicious and we’ll absolutely be back, I suggest to Umami roll, my partner got the buttermilk chicken, it was “outstanding”, the head chef Jeff is wildly talented and dinner was 10/10“

“I’m from the Boston area and was meeting a friend in Portsmouth for dinner. We picked Durbar Square and we’re definitely not disappointed. We had an absolutely fabulous meal there. The chicken chili was a delicious, and a different approach than any chili I’ve had before. The chicken was perfect cooked. The sauce was full of flavor. They also ask you to pick yours spice range from 1-10 so you can choose what suits you best. The owner, John, is totally engaged with his customers and if you want, can even demonstrate a yoga pose or 2 (which he is very good at). Just overall a great place to eat.“

“Been going here for years, never had a bad meal.“

“We go to Maine every year and make it a priority to stop here. They have the best lobster sub roll in the area! Even better than some really nice restaurants. Staff is always great and friendly. Of course the lobster roll is on the expensive side but its lobster! And they do not skimp on the meat at all.“

“The food is out of this world good!!!!“

“My husband and I had the best experience tonight! The food was amazing. We started with the tuna appetizer and the cure wedge salad - so good! He had the filet and I had the short ribs - both were so tasty and cooked to perfection. Our server was super attentive and so personable! We’ll definitely be returning when we’re back in the area!“

“Great staff too! The food is good too!“

“The pizza was great. I loved every bite of it. It was made more healthily. Our server Kelly was catering to our needs quickly.“

“Amazing first time visit to the Portsmouth NH location…from the the decor…to the scrumptious meals we had, Chicken Cordon Blue Benny and an Omelet with a heaping side plate of various meats( sausage,bacon and ham) and not to mention bottomless coffee refills……however what stood out the most was our server Emma ! Emma - has a unique talent for making you feel like you are the most important person in the room, even as she was juggling all her tables. Emma is the kind of server who can tell you a great story and refill your coffee at the same time. Emma -thank you for making our visit so enjoyable..we will be back! But wait….first we have to try the corn beef(outstanding!) hash before we hit the road!! 😊“

“It’s 12 hours from my home and I’ve taken a trip with exclusive plans to stop here to get a burger.

Backstory, wife and I were taking a trip up the East coast to Acadia.

Stopped here. It was the best burger I’ve ever had in my life.

So when we planned another east coast trip we literally went out of our way to have this place on our list.“

“We booked the private dining area and had a great experience. Service was great and we were not rushed at all. Food and drinks were good and the overall booking process with Zoey was easy and transparent.“

“I was planning to go to a different downtown restaurant and walked in to this one as it started raining. The waitress took every effort to ensure our dietary requirements were taken care of. They had quite a few veggie burger options. We picked The Cool Beans, which came with a black bean and corn patty. She was quite transparent with the fact that they used the same fryer and oil for frying meat,veggie appetizers and fries. So, she substituted fries with freshly sliced avocado. The burger itself was thick and juicy. We ordered a PB& Chocolate milkshake that capped out dinner. They went out of the way to limit cross contamination. Will definitely return.“

“Food was amazing and service was very attentive. We had Vindaloo, Tikka Marsala, Garlic Naan and Papadam. Everything was fantastic!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Good service good food and good drinks❗️“

“ordered extra cheese pizza and there was even LESS than when I order regular....used to be good but it's now TERRIBLE“

“delicious bagels. nice people.“

“I always love coming to the Pink Bamboo. The servers are so kind, the owner is amazing, and the quality of ingredients is perfect. I always leave here so incredibly full and happy. We’ve been coming here for at least 4-5 years and no other hot pot can compete. They may have a smaller selection of broths, but it’s worth it for the quality. Thank you Pink Bamboo for all your hospitality and can’t wait to come back soon!“

“Always love the pulled pork sliders and amazing seasoned house fries…always fast great service with a smile!“

“First time at Paddy's. We went for lunch and ate on the patio. Great service from our server Erica. On her recommendation, I had the roasted chicken BLT. Chicken salad was delicious. The cole slaw was also good. Not too much mayo. Husband had the hot n spicy burger with fries. Both great. Will definitey be back.“

“We love this place!!! The live music is awesome.“

“BEST QUICHE IN TOWN! IT WAS SO LIGHT AND FLUFFY LIKE A AIR LIGHT SOFT SCRAMBLE“

“Love love love The Bread Box!!! @Nestportsmouthnh order from them on a near daily basis! The food is always delicious, delivered fast and they are so good to me! They know my order by heart and have been known to surprise with chocolate and surprise coffee! THEY ARE THE BEST NEIGHBORHOOD LUNCH SPOT and we are so lucky to have them in Portsmouth!“

“Holy Fu*k!! Perfect, exactly what I wanted. Had 2 cheese slices.“

“Amazing food, but even better service. Everyone was so happy there. What a nice change of pace!“

“Great view when sitting outside. The food was tasty but not to die for. My fries had good seasoning, but they were a tad cold. The crab cake sandwich had bacon on it and a great texture. Also, the waitress was friendly and prompt at serving us.“

“I had their new Lobster grilled cheese. I am usually a huge fan of their Italian sub and steak and cheese sub but this new item not so much. I should have stuck to what I knew. I think my main issue was the sauce, it didn't quite fit with the taste of the provolone cheese and lobster.“

“My daughter and I dined here and enjoyed it very much. The server was great, fun, polite and fast. Food was fab. We had the poutine, a unique and delicious take, and the beet salad. Drinks were strong. Very enjoyable dining experience. Will definitely be back and recommend.“

“Love the atmosphere...the food was delicioso...margaritas to die for...friendly staff...love love love 💗“

“Noel is the man! High quality drinks and very cool.“

“Kim Lai is our favorite Chinese restaurant. We have been going there, often with friends, about once a week for years and just love the place. The food is delicious and the portions are very generous. The staff is great and we have such a good time with them. We utilize their take-out service for large family gatherings during the holidays. We strongly recommend Kim Lai and in fact will be going again tonight. The boneless spareribs and hot and sour soup are Daane's favorite appetizers, followed up by exploring the many different dishes on the menu. We think you will enjoy Kim Lai!“

“Food is excellent. More importantly, staff is super nice.“

“Love this Place Hidden Jewel. Free Valet Parking“

“My girlfriend & I had such a wonderful experience. The food was phenomenal and the service was even better. Our waiter (I wish I remembered his name) was so attentive. When it came time to pay & get everything boxed up & cleared away, it felt like any staff walking by did something to help out. The teamwork was excellent & something I don’t see very often anymore. We cannot wait to come back. Thank you!“

“Great food & even better service from our waitress we came here on a whim after a long day at the beach, they were so accommodating to a party of 10 with 4 small children I might add! I missed our waitresses name but she was rockstar honestly was great with children and went above and beyond would recommend to anyone looking for good seafood in the area!“

“Was disappointed with the fish & chips.“

“Tried this restaurant for the first time last night and everything was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. My friends and I tried the mac & cheese flight, chicken & waffles, fried pickles and sweet Thai wings. The goat Thunder burger was cooked perfectly and my favorite, the tumbleweeds, were crispy shoestring onion rings. Highly recommend!“
